Home Cooking! & My Life!!

Christmas is fast approaching and who out there doesn’t like a great cheesecake huh??  This one is so easy to make and you can even freeze it ahead of time, just don’t put the “topping” on it, wait until the day you serve it ok? 

Very simple, great tasting, amaze your family (G)!!

My Family’s Ice Box Dessert

You can make your own Graham Cracker crust or just buy

the ones already made up for you;

Your graham cracker crust;

3/4 cup ( maybe less) Graham crackers

1/2 cup butter ( we use blue bonnet)

1/2 cup sugar

melt butter, pour over sugar, & crackers in a bowl spread out in a glass pan, we used a 9×13 dish

Bake at 375 degree’s oven;  Take out & let cool

You just want this to “set” really since all ovens vary in time

just keep your eyes on it I’d say maybe 5 minutes or less?  You don’t want them to brown too much/or burn ;

again if you don’t want to make your own graham cracker crust

not a problem just get those that are already made for this recipe

if you don’t put it in a glass pan say a 9×13 dish you’ll need (3)

of those round graham cracker ( made up crusts)  Yes (3) OF THEM!

CREAM CHEESE MIXTURE;

3  -  8 oz. packages of Cream cheese

1 cup powdered sugar ( maybe more)

1  1/2  containers cool whip ( I just buy one small one) myself I prefer more CREAM CHEESE in mine than a lot of cool whip;

I just use one 8 oz size of the cool whip, let this all soften up a bit

so that you can mix it up;

Mix together in a bowl gently spread over graham crackers

Now if you are serving this say the day you make it or its going to

be served the next day you can go ahead and put your cherry pie filling on or any you like this all needs to chill for several hours in the refrigerator .

if you are using the store bought pie filling you’ll need at least

2 small cans of the cherry pie filling or one big 21 oz. size;

Taste your cream cheese mixture  as you are mixing it all up,

this way you can see if you need more sweetener in it which is

the powdered sugar, thats why I mentioned earlier (it could be more) so always do a taste test, its good to taste it…

I like my cheese cake plain but when I am making this for

others in my family they love the cherry pie filling on it!!

I’ve also used blueberry pie filling..VERY GOOD!

Here’s some photo’s of mine one is plain and one is

with the cherry pie filling, this is so very very good!

my plain cheesecake…YUMMY!

my Cherry Cheesecake!!

This recipe is so simple and you can fix this at any time of the year

that’s why our family loves it so much and well  we just love

anything that’s got Cream Cheese in it…LOL!

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
